Well, i have pocd so trust me i can feel your suffering and all your feeling right now, i know is not the same but something i do is telling me that my thoughts is only that THOUGHTS that can't define me, all got that thoughts just van u see a girl or boy who you find pretty dont make u a gay or bi, there is nothing bad about it youre just appreciating beauty! And if u got groinal response believe me is something normal, is part of the ocd, if you feel guilty and deeply in yourself know that you dont like de opposite sex is cause u got ocd, youre not gay or bi, is just your ocd

One or two days before I started school I was at a concert and I had a false attraction and wanted to cry but my suggestion is to surround yourself with some friends amd try to focus on something else I know its hard buut I tried to focus on something else like I invited my bffs in my house and started listening to music chatting with my long distanced friends and dancing.Also,I love singing and thats something that distracts me,so so something that you love,listen to your favourite song,watch your favourite movie and etc.It was hard for me too and I had many panic attacks but I tried to focus on things,I was crying at the beginning but then I relaxed a little bit.Dont give up,Its normal to have some downs when you are recovering Its a part of the process.You will get better,I promise.You are stronger❤️

Also I know I'm not suppose to say this cause I can be reported on here but I really want to crawl into a hole and die. Every time I have a ounce of happiness it is ripped away from me and im back where I began.

i don't know if this will help, but when i get overwhelmed with scary thoughts i try to sing a song in my head so i have something positive to focus on. another thing is practicing breathing exercises that my therapist taught me, you can probably search online and find something that works best for you:)

what the hell? this entire day ive been trying to do ERP right? allowing the thoughts feelings, sensations be there with very little reaction, saying"oh that's a thought", "that's a feeling" don't care" etc. But it seems to be making it 100x times worse. Like its impossible to just"ignore" it, it feels so freaking real as if this was the truth, the doubts are real, the false attraction feelings and lip sensations are REAL and genuine attraction, feels ego-synotic, its impossible just to ignore or move on from it because I think I'm so hyperfocused on it all so it last the whole day. IDK right now it feels and seems as if I lost? like its not a what if but it feels factual like"I'm naturally gay, I'm gay" and it feels like normal and become ok with that. But I don't want that I don't want to be gay.

False attraction has been killing me ive had it for months with the same person. I have a boyfriend so having false attraction makes me feel so guilty. And lately theyve felt so real and ive been so anxious. What if I do like him bla bla. Ive only ever saw him as a brother and we have a good connection and he is one of my good friends but even sometimes when im having a conversation I feel like im cheating. Sometimes I get excited like oh yay he is gonna be here and then I get scared that it’s romantical because I get excited when he is around because he is a funny. Im so scared thats its real attraction because I love my boyfriend I would never do such a thing. And lately my minds done stuff like oh grab his attention stuff like that and it feels like I have done those actions but I dont want to. Sometimes when he is like idk sitting near Im like oh is he looking and my minds like oh do something to empress him bla bla. Recently he was going thought stuff and my boyfriend was there and I was I can give him a hug because I think he needs it but after I thought of it as bad because he is a guy and I had this false attraction what if I did it because I like him bla bla. I am freaking out idk why my mind makes me do compulsions that I have acted on like oh go talk to him and I do its weird urges that I do not want to do. I am scared that it will come true

hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible
